The Suburban Rail Loop (SRL) is a 90-kilometre rail loop of the Melbourne metropolitan area. SRL will connect to every major rail line from the Frankston Line to the Werribee Line. As a result, the SRL will transition Melbourne's rail network from its current radial status to an oribital network. 

The Loop will consist of three sections:

  • SRL East - Cheltenham to Box Hill
  • SRL North - Box Hill to Melbourne Airport
  • SRL West - Melbourne Airport to Werribee

The precincts to be connected by SRL include: Cheltenham, Clayton, Monash, Glen Waverley, Burwood, Box Hill, Doncaster, Heidelberg, Bundoora, Reservoir, Fawkner, Broadmeadows, Melbourne Airport, Sunshine and Werribee.

As well as providing a rail link to the airport, the project will also build three 'transport super hubs' at Clayton, Broadmeadows and Sunshine to connect regional passengers to the Suburban Rail Loop.

Given the scale of the Loop, construction is to be staged over several decades, with the SRL East and SRL North sections to be constructed first. The west section will be planned and constructed in conjunction with the Melbourne Metro Tunnel, Melbourne Airport Rail and the Western Rail Plan.

The SRL East and SRL North sections have a preliminary costing in the range of $30 to $50.5 billion. A timeline and estimated cost for the completion of SRL West has not been provided at this stage.

The first stage of the Suburban Rail Loop – SRL East – is a fully-tunnelled 26 kilometre metro corridor between Cheltenham in the South and Box Hill in the North. The line will include six stations, including new interchanges with existing heavy rail stations at Cheltenham, Clayton, Glen Waverley and Box Hill, with new stations at Monash and Burwood. The new interchange in Clayton will act as a 'transport super hub, connecting regional passengers to the Suburban Rail Loop.

The six underground stations will range from 17 to 23 metres below street level and will be built using a 'bottom-up' method. The location of the entrances will be near existing train stations and central amenities.

SRL East has been split into seven work packages: 

  • Works Package A: Initial and Early Works
    • site establishment
    • utility relocation and protection works
    • road and traffic modifications
    • tunnel Access Shaft structures

The Tauriko Enabling Works include safety upgrades at intersections of State Highway 29 with Redwood Lane, Belk Road and Cambridge Road.

The Enabling Works form the initial stage of the Tauriko Network Plan, which includes the replacement of the SH29 Omanawa bridge, public transport prioritisation corridor improvements, a new SH29 and the revocation of the existing SH29. 

The Tauriko Enabling Works include:

  • a new intersection with traffic lights on SH29 at Tauriko Village to provide access to the northern part of Tauriko West
  • widening of SH29 between the new intersection at Tauriko Village and Cambridge Road, including provision of a new shared walking and cycling path along the northern side of SH29
  • an upgrade of the existing SH29/Cambridge Road intersection with traffic lights and a new connection to Whiore Avenue for buses, people walking and cycling only
  • a new footpath along the southern side of Whiore Avenue and provision for future bus stops
  • a new roundabout at SH29/Redwood Lane, which will connect to Tauriko Business Estate via Kaweroa Drive and provide access to the southern part of Tauriko West via Redwood Lane
  • a new shared path connecting Redwood Lane to Kaweroa Drive crossing underneath SH29, and
  • closure of the existing SH29/Belk Road intersection, with traffic redirected through Tauriko Business Estate to the new SH29/Redwood Lane roundabout.

The Government of Western Australia is exploring options to construct a new container port at Kwinana. This would see the eventual transfer of container handling capacity from Fremantle Port to the new Kwinana Port over time.

There are two preferred options for handling container freight over the transition between the Freemantle and Kwinana ports. Both ultimately result in all freight capacity shifting from Fremantle to Kwinana, and both require the construction of a new land-backed port in the Kwinana Industrial Area serviced by an upgraded Anketell Road freight route.

This project involves the delivery of 25 new X’Trapolis 2.0 trains for Melbourne's metropolitan network.

These new trains are expected to boost reliability of current services and accommodate additional services in future, driven by the pipeline of rail capital projects underway across Melbourne. New rolling stock is expected also enable the ageing trains on the network to be retired by 2030.

The new trains are expected to have a minimum 60 per cent local content requirement, and be manufactured in Alstom's Ballarat facility.

The project also involves an upgrade to the Craigieburn Train Maintenance Facility, allowing the new trains to be efficiently housed and maintained.

The Whaleback Ridge Renewable Energy Project, located around Lake Pieman near Zeehan in western Tasmania, will involve the establishment of up to 500 wind turbine generators, with a projected generating capacity of 3,000 megawatts (MW).

The proponent, Westcoast Renewable Energy, has identified a wide area of turbine exclusion zones. The Project includes the development of collector substations, access roads, office and workshop facilities, installation of overhead and underground transmission lines, and the use of mobile concrete batching plants.

The project will be staged to meet demand in the market and capacity on the transmission network, with an expectation that all project stages are likely to be constructed and operational by 2040, depending on market demand.
